Food and Recipes

Taking a little departure from our series on hor d’oeuvres for the holidays to bring you this scrumptious treat from the pasta department. I really love this particular recipe because it pairs fettuccine, one of my favorite pasta types, with salmon, another favorite food group of mine. Over the years I’ve made several salmon pastas, but I keep coming back to this one because for one, it's super big on flavor, and B, it’s not heavy or rich, which means I can eat even more than I might otherwise, which can, at times, be quite impressive.

So not only are we talking salmon and fettuccine here, but arugula and capers and lemon, lovely herbs and wine, and are you hungry yet? Oh, well let me mention that there is a little butter in here too. I knew that would get you. Wait no more. Fettuccine with salmon and arugula is here for you. Well, it was....

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine 1 or 2 minutes less than the package directions, drain and add to the sauce in the pan. Stir to coat the pasta and cover with the lid. Let the pasta sit in the sauce for 5-10 minutes to allow it to finish cooking and absorb the sauce. Stir in the arugula and a good handful of grated parmesan cheese.

Drizzle with a little olive oil and a sprinkling of grated parmesan and a dusting of fresh, chopped parsley. Serve with extra grated parmesan and a dusting of fresh, chopped parsley.
